How do I check for a player touching a wall?

[vaporwaveboi]

I've seen some mods do things like walljumping, and an idea came to me. The only thing is, I have no clue about how to check for a player touching a wall. Is there a variable or a function of some kind I can use for this? if not, then is there any way to manually check for a player touching a wall?

Mmm as I knew ! You can create a test map in Zone builder (in a square or bigger) ! Then add a simple wall ! Go open the game and load the level file (you can directly from zone builder) select your mod character that you want to test it and finish !
But you must know how to use zone editor ! If you don't I will try to make one for you ;)

anyway there's a hook for that
It's called MobjMoveBlocked
It fires off when you touch a wall

For the record, player.powers[pw_pushing] can be used within the hook PlayerThink, alongside the recently added in 2.2.9 player.lastlinehit to check for hitting a solid wall, and for getting any information tied to the line.

player.powers[pw_pushing] has been in for a long time. It's set if you are being blocked by something.

A guide... of what, exactly? It's not how to use Lua, it's just the hook needed to check for collision with walls.

Yea, teach people that, how to wall collision, it will make things like this much clearer

But it's just a small hook, definitely not enough for a freakin' GUIDE

True, but in reality there are a lot of areas i dont knoew much about lua so maybe like a hodge pot of sorts,if someone here knows this and like transparent hud, and angles, it would be a good guide i suppose

Oh, so basic Lua stuff? I'll get to working on that in a few minutes after I try out Metroid Vanguard.
